- Looks close to being production-ready
- Gets adjustable USD forks and dual discs up front
- Official debut might take place in 2026
The clearest pictures of what is clearly the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 have surfaced on the internet. While the test mule looks very close to being production-ready, the official debut of the bike might take two more years, at least. As of now, Royal Enfield is internally calling it Project R2G.
Unlike the previous spy shots that were captured in India, the latest ones are coming from somewhere in Southern Europe. Some of the most interesting elements clearly visible in the pictures include a 19-17-inch spoke wheel setup that is suspended by adjustable upside-down forks up front and, perhaps, an adjustable monoshock at the rear. Whether adjustability for the suspension will come on the production model is not confirmed yet. Further, the front braking setup includes twin discs - a first for an RE. We have already seen identical braking hardware on the test mule of the next-generation Interceptor.
The engine will most likely be a 750cc twin-cylinder unit, as per our sources. This will be a bigger version RE’s existing 650cc twin and the bump in displacement should result in an increment of 5-7bhp. The existing mill produces 47bhp and 52Nm on the Interceptor and 56.5Nm on the Bear 650.
As for the design, while the signature Himalayan silhouette has been retained, this motorcycle looks less industrial and seems to be inclining more towards being a sports tourer. The jerry can holders are replaced with small fairings adjoining the fuel tank and the headlamp. However, with a tall windscreen and a huge bash plate, it certainly looks ready for touring and off-roading. On the feature front, this might be more loaded than the existing Himalayan 450 as we can clearly spot a new, bigger TFT screen, besides full LED lighting.
The production model of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected to be launched in 2026 and it might be positioned on top of all other bikes in this family.
